About ASJ

Your donation goes towards furthering the mission of ASJ in Honduras, and we are so grateful for it! Years ago, a team of North Americans and Honduras found that they shared a collective vision of justice for the oppressed. After years of working in development, they realized their efforts were not enough because the systems of government did not respect the needs and rights of everyone. We had one question: how can the systems of health, education, and security transform to support a country where everyone can flourish and experience justice? We knew this journey would be costly and full of challenges, but out of our Christian faith, we found the call to “do justice” and be brave in seeking belonging for all. This work requires action from partners across the country. Join us for this event to learn more and raise support for the work in Honduras.
